As usual my question is pretty simple, but which i find very hard.

A, B, and C played in 3 different teams. The chance of A's team winning is 0.18, of B's team 0.1, and of C's team 0.25.
What is the probability that at least 2 teams win?

The possible ways this can happen is:

A and B win, C doesn't, Probability = 0.18 x 0.1 x 0.75
A and C win, B doesn't, Probability = 0.18 x 0.25 x 0.9
B and C win, A doesn't, Probability = 0.1 x 0.25 x 0.82
A, B and C win, Probability = 0.18 x 0.1 x 0.25

Work out each of these probabilities and add them together for the answer
